This is what y’all wanted right?
Black college admissions falling from 13% to 5% at M.I.T
- Thread starter Loose
- Start date
Are you posting this from 1998? Colleges have been desperate for more men for a couple decades now. Being a woman is more likely to hurt you than help you in college admissions.
Seeking gender balance, selective colleges are giving men an advantage in admission
As more women than men continue to apply to colleges, it’s gotten easier for male applicants at some private colleges to get in — and harder for female applicants. Despite this, women make up the majority of students on U.S. college campuses

Declining male enrollment has led many colleges to adopt an unofficial policy: affirmative action for men.
Affirmative Action for Men?
College admissions policies claiming to maintain a gender balance are giving male applicants yet another advantage.

Some tech schools still favor women, but the majority of Ivy Leagues, exclusive privates, and even top state schools now favor men.
He's not missing any point. He's been a proud Trump supporter since 2016, who brags about how he prefers to see open White Supremacists in office.
MIT is the #1 engineering program in the country according to US News and World Reports. North Carolina A&T State University is 148th, Morgan State is 170th. USNWR rankings aren't an end-all, but they're one of the main things that prospective college students go on. He full well knows that 99.9% of kids who would have gotten into MIT aren't turning to HBCU's instead, they're ending up at less prestigious private schools and the best state schools instead.
And that might work out for them....but lacking Black students at the most elite schools is a double-edged injury for the Black community - it keeps Black people from the education and prestige of the best universities AND it keeps the highest-level non-Black students who end up at those schools and help shape future America from having any Black friends, colleagues, influences, etc. This has a real impact on how society goes forward.

Crazy thing is that MIT doesn’t want this either. Having cookie cutter duplicates of the same student profile is not a good look.

The way someone broke it down:
M.I.T is primarily an engineering school. Basically the best school in the nation if you want to get a job right after your Bachelor's Degree. If you want your name at the top of the resume pile by the time you're 23, you go to M.I.T.
If instead your goal is to go into research for like Math or Physics and set up your PhD from a monster school, then you probably want a Caltech or Stanford. These schools, especially Caltech shine when it comes to pure research.

Only time will tell. But white women have been eating very well off Affirmative Action the last 40 years and will continue to. That one article was white feminists complaining because women ie white women aren’t getting the whole pie, friend.Are you posting this from 1998?

@Professor Emeritus Wife is White women, she is a White Arab and she benefited from Affirmative Action:
I forgot @Professor Emeritus back then Rhakim, admitted his wife is Non-Black, she is actually a White Arab. He was trying to brag and say he is her first and only lover lol. He tried to go back and edit the post, this nikka is funny.
That's a silly comparison - you're not looking at the same pools at all. University of Florida has more famous grads than MIT too, does that mean prospective students should prefer Florida over MIT? MIT only graduates just over 1,000 people a year and they're all engineers/scientists who generally work behind the scenes, not athletes/entertainers/politicians. And until the last few decades, MIT was hardly accepting any black students at all, their embrace of affirmative action had been relatively recent.
Being "famous" isn't the way to measure influence. MIT graduates are shaping national policy, shaping science, shaping companies. Some of the most influential anti-poverty work I've ever seen was run by MIT graduates, that doesn't mean you know their names but every in their industry does.

Even looking at the most successful MIT graduates, they're not household names but that doesn't mean they haven't had a HUGE influence. And two of the ten people profiled there are Black (Kofi Annan and Shirley Ann Jackson), neither of which would have been likely to climb to the heights of influence they reached if they hadn't been MIT grads.
